At least seven people have been killed and eight more injured after a huge fuel spill on Interstate 75 in Florida sparked a massive fireball following a crash between four vehicles.
Two big rigs and two passenger vehicles collided spilling 50 gallons of diesel across the Florida highway, sparking the blaze that killed seven.
Some of those caught up in the crash are thought to be a group of children who were heading to Disney World.
Horrifying footage from the scene showed the huge fire engulfing several motors and it was so intense the flames damaged parts of the road around a mile south of Alachua, near Gainesville.
Eight other people were taken to the hospital, some with critical injuries, according to reports.

Others had been traveling with the same group but were not involved in the accident, according to reports.
The Gainsville Sun reports five of those who died were in a passenger van and one was in one of the crashed tractor-trailers. It is not known of they were the driver or a passenger.
Authorities said debris, including personal property and vehicle parts, were left scattered across the road.
Spokesman Lieutenant Patrick Riordan, said: 'There's going to be families that need to be notified that their loves ones have perished.'
He said it is unclear whether the victims were killed in the wreck or whether they burned in the fire, which would make identification more difficult.

Lieutenant P.V. Riordan told NBC News: 'There was significant damage with the two tractor trailers and with that much abrasion, I'm not surprised that we had a fire.
'I think we've got a long night ahead of us. We've got a lot of debris, we've got a lot of damage to the road. We've got a lot of work ahead of us with regard to the investigation.'
The horror crash, in the northbound lanes, closed part of the highway in both directions and caused major delays.
Southbound lanes were also closed to keep a route open for first responders, according to the Alachua County Sherriff's office.
They said the emergency 'required all hands on deck.'
A helicopter arrived to search for any victims who may have been in nearby woods.
Eyewitness Nicole Towarek told The Gainsville Sun: 'The heat, it was insane.'
Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
